That make sense. I'd still be weary though, you can win in court, but the cost of getting sued isn't small. Nintendo's lawsuits come to mind.




Normally I wouldn't say anything, but since we're on the topic of mixing up two different concepts:

I suspect you meant to say "wary." Wary means "cautious," "weary" means "tired."


I think wary would have been a better word, but I really did mean "weary", as in I would find the ordeal tiresome or bothersome? I wouldn't disagree if you said that's bad grammar still.

Weary and wary are also homophones, in certain dialects at least

Such a case would never end up in court. You can't sue someone for doing something that's perfectly legal.. well you can try, but it's going to be really hard to find a lawyer willing to waste their time (a lawyer you're going to have to pay).. and the case would ultimately get thrown out long before court.

If a gaming company can sue a local supermarket over trademark, I don't know what to say.
